So I received a new product that I’m really excited to present to you today. If you haven’t guessed already I’m a huge fan of syrups. Yes I love making my own syrups and I already find alot of the others on sites like Amazon but I am always in favor of supporting smaller companies and sometimes they have some of the most unique flavors. So I came across Sirop Co. kind of randomly. Obviously my feed is aware of my interests but I also don’t buy from every company I see either. I guess you could say I have a formula for my determinations.
- Unique quality flavors
- Decent price
- Versatility
Just tell me why
If I can find it somewhere else cheaper than why wouldn’t I? Plus if I can’t use it for much than why would I want to spend the money. In this case Sirop Co. met all criteria.
So let’s have a look
So I found this company on Instagram. They have beautiful examples of cocktails that use their product. So I decided to take a look at their shop. Here’s what I saw:
On top of the fact that they have some pretty good flavors and they’re always adding new ones, the prices were so low there wasn’t much risk to give one a try.
Here’s a bonus
For those of you watching your sugar intake they offer sugar free versions as well.
Here’s what I got
Now let’s make some cocktails
Now I did say I was going to make some of my own recipes but I quickly realized Earl Grey tea was a little more difficult to pair because I had never incorporated it in my recipes before. So I went over to Sirop Co Instagram page for inspiration and I discovered this :
In their highlights if you click on the syrup you will find a collection of cocktails recipes for that particular flavor. So I decided to change it up a little bit. Their experts so I wanted to see how they showcase it and then from there I can brainstorm new recipes for the future. I decided to pick 2 different recipes so here they are.
Afternoon Tea
- 1 1/2 oz gin
- 1 oz Elderflower liquor
- 3/4 oz fresh squeezed lemon juice
- 3/4 oz Earl Grey syrup
- 1 egg white (or Aquafaba- see my post Let’s crack this open for more info)
- Lemon peel for garnish
Add all ingredients to the shaker. Dry shake for about 10 seconds. Add ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain and add lemon peel.
**If using aquafaba, first add aquafaba alone and dry shake. You then add ice and shake again. Then add other ingredients and shake one more time.
Now on the cocktail No. 2
A French Afternoon
- 1 1/2 oz vodka
- 3/4 oz Raspberry liquor
- 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 oz Earl Grey syrup
- Egg white (or Aquafaba)
Add all ingredients and dry shake for about 10 seconds. Then add ice and shake for 20 seconds. Strain and and I decided to garnish with a dehydrated lime.
These are just 2 of several recipes. And both were delicious! If you interested check out their Instagram page Sirop_co. It has tons of recipes. Also check out their shop:
